It was the perfect business opportunity for the second year MBBS student. Not performing well in his course led him to think of an alternative way to earn money organising a racket around one of the biggest medical entrance examination in the country,the All India PG Medical Entrance Examination conducted by AIIMS on January 8.
The idea struck 23-year-old Mohit Choudhury,an MBBS from a private medical college in Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh,about three months ago following which he roped in two of his friends,Kapil Kumar,an MBA from Jamia Millia Islamia and Krishan Pratap Singh,an MBA from IIMT-Meerut.
Mohit knew that candidates could go to any extent to clear the post graduate medical entrance examination, said a senior police officer.
The three roped in Bhishma Singh,a computer programmer in the area, said the officer.
According to DCP (Crime) Ashok Chand,Choudhury approached the six candidates and struck a deal wherein the racketeers would keep the candidates certificates till they made the payment of about Rs 40 lakh.
Choudhury,police said,had arranged for the Bluetooth-enabled handsfree set,the skin-coloured earphones and shirts belonging to a high-end brand.
Meanwhile,Choudhury arranged for Sony Xperia mobile phones and Nokia Lumia mobile phones into which Bhishma Singh,the computer programmer,fed a sophisticated software which would automatically click the picture of the question paper and transfer them via email,after which the image would be downloaded onto his computer.
They stitched the Bluetooth device onto the shirts,attached the earphones and used the mobile phones to click the picture of the question paper. The image was then sent to Bhishma would check whether or not they were legible. The questions would then simultaneously be sent to Choudhury and his associates who would then dictate the answers to the candidates using medical books and the internet.
Police recovered five high-end mobile phones,two earphones,six shirts with the Bluetooth sets stitched into the collars,a computer,printer,a Maruti Alto car and six medical books from the gang.
